Destiny’s Way by Jack Campbell #JackCampbell @acebookspub.bsky.social @AceBooksPub @berkleypub

I’ve really loved the Lost Fleet and spin off series by this author. They have action with military battle, along with military politics and the morality decisions of battles. The Doomed Earth series has the military and politics with its fast paced action but also a romance. It’s not a romance novel more a sideline […]

Bayou Moon is the second book in Ilona Andrews‘ The Edge series. I was excited to read it (again) because it’s William’s story and he — well, William’s been through a lot and I wanted him to find what he wanted in life. Of course, he’s a soldier, honed into a sharp blade and used […]

🎧The Rainfall Market by You Yeong-Gwang #YouYeong-Gwang #RosaEscoda @AceBooksPub @acebookspub.bsky.social @penguinaudio.bsky.social @PRHAudio #LoveAudiobooks

I’ve been more attracted to reading cozy fantasy this winter. I really enjoyed The Teller of Small Fortunes and now, The Rainfall Market. The story was written in another language originally and is translated. The main character is a teenage girl, Serin, who has many problems disadvantages in her life. She hears of a ticket […]

On The Edge is the fantastic first book in The Edge Series by Ilona Andrews. I’m not one to reread books, but Ilona Andrews is one of a handful of writers I will reread. It’s been a few years since I first spent time with this series and I’m so glad to be diving back […]

I chose this series after a poll and discussions with my team and several friends. The ebook or print are available at most libraries. The Edge and the last two Innkeeper audiobooks are at some libraries. The first four Innkeeper audiobooks are an Audible exclusive. The Edge series is more paranormal romance whereas Innkeeper is […]

🎧Toto by AJ Hackwith @ajhackwith @Andreonthemic @AceBooksPub @BerkleyPub @PRHAudio #LoveAudiobooks

The premise of a retelling of the Wizard of Oz from Toto’s point of view is immensely appealing. The general flow of the story was similar but with a few new characters and some new cultural nods. Toto goes on a journey of personal growth as much as Dorothy does here. He is reasonably upset […]

🎧 The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong @JulieLeongBooks #PhyllisHo @AceBooksPub @PRHAudio #LOVEAudiobooks

I never know what I’ll get when reading a fantasy book. The Teller of Small Fortunes was described as cozy and that seems right. There isn’t a big war. The setting seemed rather historical as much fantasy does. Our heroine, Tao, has a wagon with her treasured mule, as she travels around Eshtera. She is […]

Demon’s Bluff by Kim Harrison @BurningBunnies ‏@AceBooksPub @BerkleyPub

So, The Hollows series was the very first Read-along I hosted in my early days of blogging at Yummy Men & KickAss Chicks. I chose it because I had heard so many great things about it but had never read the series. It was also 2014 and the year the “final” book was released, Witch with […]

🎧 An Instruction in Shadow by Benedict Jacka @BenedictJacka‏ @WillMWatt @AceBooksPub @BerkleyPub @orbitbooks @PRHAudio ‏#LoveAudiobooks

I loved the first book, An Inheritance of Magic so I was excited to read more. Over the past year, Benedict Jacka has done a series of information on the aspects of the magic in this world from the element types, to the Houses, to the skill levels, etc. I read all these before starting […]
